BSD overtake Linux or Windows in some areas

Any examples? besides the well known security, lower footprint and simplicity. genuinely curious.

ZFS? pf?

The tooling is just superior in some cases.

[–] LufyCZ@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

zfs is available on Linux just fine

[–] doubletwist@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, finally . But only after being available in FreeBSD for years.
